ABOUT THE RELEASE:
The Explorer EP is aptly named, as Eric employs a variety of sound scapes and production techniques in this offering. The EP is quickly making an impact, having been featured on Beatport’s main page and played on radio from Australia to Italy to Asia. “Hope Springs Eternal” is a tropical house groove that is featured on Discobelle, complete with an edit by house legend Roy Davis Jr. “Let It Go” is an electro banger with pounding drums, vicious stabs, a wobbling bass line and a floor-crushing vocal that appeared in Mustard Pimp’s latest mix. “The End Of Mankind” brings influences from Grime, Juke, and Drumstep together with monstrous sounds and madcap vocal work by Louisahhh!!! and Sharp himself in a tongue in cheek apocalyptic scene.
ABOUT ERIC SHARP:
Eric Sharp heralds diversity and the freedom to express a variety of emotions and moods through his work, regardless of the incessant genre boundaries that are rampant in dance music. The Explorer EP, his debut solo offering on his own label Rock It Science Labs, reflects this sentiment. Prolific in the studio and tireless behind the decks, Eric’s tunes have turned up in sets by a host of internationally renowned DJs. 2011 was a huge year for Eric, with a flurry of collaborations, remixes, and performances at high profile events such as Outside Lands, Amsterdam Dance Event, Decibel Festival, SXSW, Ultra Week, Dim Mak and more. 2012 looks to be even better for Mr. Sharp; watch for him to continue rising.
My homies at Wildkats have been really carving out a name fore themselves over the past year, with some great remixes and originals out on killer labels, a busy touring schedule, and some plans to move back over stateside soon (which selfishly makes me happy…lol).
In the meantime, check out some great edits they have shared for free… AND be on the lookout for some of their work on our RIS Labs label very soon
This Beautifully produced house remix of Switch & Andrea Martin speaks for itself!

New 2 CD mix from our homie Ebar, coming out on November 15th, with some great nu disco tunes (including one from our Rock It Science label as well as a DJ Fame remix out earlier this year). Ebar was recently featured as artist of the week on Frisky Radio.
Veteran music purveyor Eric Reithler-Barros has two alter egos: DJ EBAR (deeper house and electronica styles) and Indicant (progressive and techier flavors). He stands in the midst of New York City’s electronic underground as a veteran DJ/producer/remixer since 1990, and he shows no sign of slowing down.
This is supported by a glance at the names that have shared the DJ booth with him: Josh Wink, Louie Vega, Kevin Hedge (Blaze), Tony Humphries, Jon Cutler, Matthias Heilebronn, Kaskade, Lisa Shaw, Andy Caldwell, Barbara Tucker, Tiesto, Moby, Markus Schulz, Sunshine Jones (Dubtribe) and countless others.
He has been spinning his unique brand of music to the world’s top clubs for 21 years including Cielo (New York), Rumor (Boston), Spundae (Los Angeles), Tantra (Miami), Sullivan Room (New York), Minyon (Budapest), Le Souk (New York), Folies Pigalle (Paris), BED (New York), Nikki Beach (Miami, Cabo San Lucas), and the wild all-night Full Moon parties of southern Thailand, to name a handful.
As an accomplished studio producer and remixer, EBAR has a long list of respected releases on some of the world’s most heralded dance music labels including King Street Sounds, West End Records, Peng Records, RCA, Sony Music/Columbia. Remix credits range from underground heroes Ananda Project to commercial hit artists Boomkat, Ludacris, Hanna Hais, and Deborah Harry (aka 80’s icon Blondie).
As a label boss, EBAR has run his own successful independent underground labels: Sifted (techno), Central Park Recordings (soulful/deep house), and his current project Quarterlife Records NYC (tech and progressive house).
The “Nu-School Sweatshop” release features tracks that incorporate nu-disco, indietronic, and nu-80s styles… contemporary music that brings the vintage sounds of previous decades into 2012 by using current production technology. It is an extended version of EBAR’s “artist of the week” broadcast on Frisky Radio on October 11, 2011.
New video by one of my favorite groups, Thievery Corp, for their single “Culture of Fear”. The song already sums up current times perfectly, but the video really puts the words to life.
